9 YEAR OLD SELECT - DUNDAS TOURNAMENT
The U9 Select Minor Team made the drive to Dundas Aug 10/11 weekend for the Dundas Little League Wes Snihur Tourney.
Facing three games on Saturday, the team laid some great groundwork by beating Niagara before many were out of bed! Secondly they faced the Stoney Creek team which they have played many times and always proved to be a nail biter. With some outstanding pitching and good bats, they put another win on the board. The third game was a hard fought loss to the ever present High Park which placed us in 2nd and off to face our neighbours Oakville Sunday morning.
Congratulations to the U9 team for their perseverance and sportsmanship in the face of taunts by dancing Whitecaps, we held our ground and our heads high despite a heartbreaking loss. A bronze place finish for a team praised by Dundas organizers as "the most polite and well behaved team in years"! Way to go...Adam, Aidan, Carter, Ethan, Garrett, Johnny, Kalayo, Kevin, KJ, and Lucas!

ERINDALE U6 OAKVILLE TOURNAMENT:

Friday evening the U6 team’s tournament
started with a David and Goliath game against the Oakville U8s. Despite losing,
Erindale scored a respectable 25 runs in their first game as a team.Cameron won the player award for his solid
hitting, not to mention his impressive cartwheels in left-center field.

Saturday morning the U6s played a more
evenly matched opponent, the Stoney Creek U6s. Erindale won the game 44 to 41.
Jacob won the player award for both solid hitting and fielding.

The Saturday afternoon game saw Erindale
play the home team Oakville U6s. This was the game where the umpires decided to
call the game a little differently – awarding players the next base even if
they had barely stepped off the base they had just reached when time was
called. Home field advantage proved fatal for our boys in red as Erindale fell
43 to 33. The player award went to Jordan.

Sunday, Father’s Day, and the first game
was bright and early at 8:30 am. This was another older opponent, the
Mississauga Majors U7 team. Still adjusting to the way bases were being awarded,
and despite spectacular plays by, player award winning, Laurence at first base,
the U6s fell 48 to 26.

The Sunday afternoon game was a scorcher,
where Erindale again played Stoney Creek in the consolation game. Despite the
hot sun, and the boys being tired from a weekend of T-Ball, Erindale won 40 to
34. Chad, showed Gold Glove skills at second and won the player award.

The Erindale U6s are:

Jack, who only played the first game, but
showed serious potential. Tyler, who got some solid hits into the
outfield. Jallone, despite a black eye, he got the
job done.Cameron, big hits. Ryan, stretched a dribbler in the infield
into a triple with some aggressive base running. ordan, no one calls time like he does. icholas, tagged a couple of runners out that
were trying to make it to second base. Anthony, solid hitting and fielding, what an
arm! James, showed some hustle and learned how
to flip off the catcher’s mask. Laurence, excellent plays at first. Jonathan, solid hitting, and a good glove. Jacob, hitting, fielding, he does it all.
